“a16z is betting that it can help make that future bigger and better than it would otherwise be, sooner, through policy and platform and power, and help its portfolio companies win in the process.” “Based on my conversations with a16z’s founders, this bet seems to be paying off today, and it is an unbelievably asymmetric one. Each win can pay for a lot of capabilities. The machine compounds. The most interesting bet it’s making, in my opinion, in light of the first two, is the one that seems most obvious, when you put it like I’m about to put it: That a VC firm can, like nearly every other type of company in the universe, get better with scale.” Read more from Packy McCormick: https://www.notboring.co/p/a16z-the-power-brokers Not an offer or solicitation.
